Default too old to start?

I just turned 33, and I'm the (very) young man at my club. The first time I showed up, I felt REALLY out of place, but these guys were so excited to have a newbie, they "took me under thier wing" without hesitation. I do feel like a kid again talking to these guys, listening to thier experiences, and learning volumes from them.
I've been running cars, trucks, and boats for a number of years, but now am wishing I had put the money into planes & helis to begin with. Even though I did gain some experience with the "2 dimensional" vehicles (engine tuning, linkage setup, etc.), they just pretty much sit in the corner collecting dust while I'm out at the field. Probably going to sell everything to finance more aircraft.

NEVER TOO YOUNG!!!!
